'Valses nobles et sentimentales, Rapsodie espagnole, Menuet antique, and La valse' by Maurice Ravel, Performed by the London Dymphony Orchestra, directed by Ravel specialist, Kent Nagano, is a collection of 'pretty' music, which constantly reminds me of contemporary music written for film. I can even hear faint precursors of phrases in Bernstein's 'West Side Story' and 'An American in Paris' and various Audrey Hepburn vehicles.

As a work, none of these seem to me to be quite as good as his ballet for the Ballet Russe, 'Daphnis et Chloe', which Nagano also does, and does well.

If you like Ravel, this is a very respectable recording with good notes and a good interpretation. If you are looking for some new and interesting listening, this may not seem all that new or all that interesting.
